Short Session Description (one line): First-year college students were asked to define "fake news" throughout the semester on a sticky note and these are their responses.

Full Session Description (as long as you would like): With "fake news" becoming a common term used in everyday language, the presenter was interested in how first-year college students would define "fake news" prior to any information literacy instruction. During required information literacy sessions in spring semester 2017, students (over 600) were asked to take a sticky note and define "fake news." No further instructions were given. The responses were collected and categorized based on commonalities. This presentation will help attendees better understand how first-year students define fake news and discuss strategies information literacy instructors can use to approach the topic.
